Product Info
Françoise Bedel Cuvée Comme Autrefois is an exquisite, artisanal Champagne crafted with meticulous care by the esteemed Champagne Françoise Bedel et Fils, nestled in the picturesque Marne Valley of France. This distinguished Blanc de Noirs celebrates the elegance of old-vine Pinot Meunier, thoughtfully blended with carefully selected traditional Champagne varieties to create a wine of remarkable depth and character. Produced using time-honored methods, this Champagne is fermented and aged in oak barrels, where it develops its signature complexity and richness. Extended aging on the lees imparts a luxuriously textured palate with nuanced flavors and a refined, persistent finish. The result is a sophisticated expression that honors winemaking tradition while showcasing the distinctive terroir of the region. Biodynamically farmed and crafted with unwavering commitment to quality, this Champagne represents the pinnacle of small-production, artisanal winemaking. Perfect for discerning palates seeking authenticity and elegance in every sip.
Aromas: Rich notes of baked orchard fruit, stewed apples, dried citrus peel, toasted brioche, hazelnuts, and earthy chalk.Palate: Broad, powerful, and structured with a creamy mousse, balanced by vibrant acidity and deep, vinous intensity.Finish: Long, bone-dry, and savory, with lingering spice and mineral grip.Grape composition: Dominated by Pinot Meunier (often around 55% to 67%), supported by smaller percentages of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay depending on the base selection.Oak fermentation: Fermented entirely in neutral French oak barrels rather than stainless steel tanks.Extended aging: Exceptionally long aging on the lees (sur lattes), frequently exceeding a decade before disgorgement, which builds deep autolytic complexity.Biodynamic farming: Certified biodynamic and organic practices focus on healthy vineyard soils and natural vine vitality.Soil composition: Sourced from silty-clay and calcareous-clay soils over chalky subsoils that impart a distinct mineral backbone.Vine age: Made from mature vines aged roughly 20 to 60 years old.
